All 4th grade or nine-year-old students in the Sequim School District, private schools and/or home schooled, are invited to create an ornament to decorate the holiday tree that will be displayed in the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar Street from December 6, 2019 through the first of January 2020.
The theme for all student-created ornaments is Nature's Creatures: Real or Mythical. Any materials are acceptable for the ornaments as long as they are dry. No live entries, candles, batteries or flammable materials are allowed. Ornaments can be no smaller than 2”x 2” x 2” and no larger than 6”x 6” x 6”. There are no color restrictions. All ornaments must be presented with a loop (wire, ribbon or cord) for attachment of a hanging hook.
Ornaments are to be delivered to Sequim Civic Center on Monday, November 25, 2019 between 2:00pm and 4:00pm. If needed, arrangements for an alternative delivery day or time can be arranged. The decorated tree will be on display by Friday, December 6, 2019. The official tree lighting and reception for all student participants and their family and friends will be held in on Friday, December 6, 2019 beginning at 5:00pm.
All students will receive a special commemorative card as a Thank You remembrance for their participation when their ornaments are returned in January. No financial compensation will be offered to any participant.
